3.0 out of 5 stars Better Organization, June 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Spirit of Qi Gong- Chinese Exercises for Longevity [VHS] (VHS Tape)

There is valuable instruction in this video; HOWEVER, there needs to be more time on the movements and less time on footage of tinkling streams, mountain vistas, forests, etc. The camera work is bad in one respect: I will be following Ms. Davis's movements and instructions; then the camera pans to one of the other participants in the video who are at a different point in the sequence of the movement... Confusing! All instructions should come "before" the movements begin, not an additional tag-on when the movements are finished. It is impossible to do an entire series of a movement without stopping the vcr because in some movements she will do six repetitions and in others, only one and then move on. With better organization of the movement sequences this could be a really great video. Just give me something that I can follow along with, completely, start to finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent self-healing instruction, February 15, 2002

This review is from: The Spirit of Qi Gong- Chinese Exercises for Longevity [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As an acupuncturist and qi gong practitioner I thought this an excellent instructional tool. In addition to the obviously great production value, the exercises are presented in a clear and easy to follow/learn format. I have often taught patients qi gong exercises as part of their treatment but now I generally just refer them to this video. They then have an at home reference and practice guide. Usually they quickly experience enough benefits to make their practice self-motivated. Anyone interested in building their energy, increasing their immunity and/or just generally increasing their sense of well-being and vitality would do well to invest the small cost of this video. And then--practice!

This review is from: The Spirit of Qi Gong- Chinese Exercises for Longevity [VHS] (VHS Tape)

In my opinion "The Spirit of Qi Gong" by Deborah Davis - a health educator and Doctor or Oriental Medicine in Santa Fe, NM - is one of the most useful and important new self-care video releases today.

Filmed in stunning natural settings and enhanced by incredibly relaxing original music, it is also one of the most beautiful videos around.If you liked Ali MacGraw's yoga video, you'll love Deborah's "The Spirit of Qi Gong."

This 60 minute home video is ideal for busy people like me, who don't have the time to attend classes, yet want to do something good for themselves.

Deborah is a born teacher. She makes Qi Gong easy, quick and fun. Inexpensive too.(No need for special equipment!)

After doing only a few minutes daily, I sleep better, am more relaxed during my work, feel more energy when getting up in the morning - and my head cold is gone, too. Great!

Just bought another copy for a friend's birthday. She loves it too.

Get a copy and check it out!
